Thomas Rhett announces "The Soundtrack to Life Tour" 2026: Full schedule and ticket info

There's a reason a Thomas Rhett show feels less like a concert and more like the best night of your summer. The man behind "Die a Happy Man" and "Life Changes" has spent 13 years building a catalog that doubles as a time machine — every song tied to a moment, a memory, a feeling you didn't know you were missing until the first chord hits. Now, after three years away from headlining, he's bringing that energy back to stages across the country.

"The Soundtrack to Life Tour" covers 24 headlining dates across the U.S. from July through October 2026, hitting arenas and amphitheaters from Nashville to Omaha. The run supports the deluxe edition of his seventh studio album, About A Woman, and features a stacked rotating lineup of rising country talent. As Rhett himself put it: "I've always believed a great song can take you right back to a moment — your first love, the last day of school, that summer you never wanted to end — and that's what I hope the fans take away from our shows this summer."

Who is opening for Thomas Rhett on tour?

"The Soundtrack to Life Tour" brings one of the deeper support cards you'll find on any country tour this year. Six rising artists rotate through the lineup across the run.

• Emily Ann Roberts: The consistent first act on stage every night of the tour, Emily Ann Roberts brings classic East Tennessee twang, big-voice gospel runs and throwback country storytelling that immediately locks the crowd in.

• ERNEST: On select dates, ERNEST steps in with a mix of traditional-leaning country and modern hooks, the same Nashville songwriter firepower behind hits like “Flower Shops” and cuts for Morgan Wallen and Florida Georgia Line.

• Conner Smith: Conner Smith brings a high-energy, radio-ready set built around songs like “Creek Will Rise” and “I Hate Alabama,” blending SEC football references, small-town nostalgia and big singalong choruses on rotating dates.

• Kashus Culpepper: Rotating in on select shows, Kashus Culpepper leans into a gritty Southern sound—soulful vocals, bluesy guitar lines and slow-burn songs like “After Me?” and “Out Of My Mind” that feel tailor-made for nighttime amphitheaters.

• Vincent Mason: Vincent Mason adds a fresh face to the lineup on select dates, pairing smooth, modern-country vocals with introspective, heart-on-sleeve songwriting that fits seamlessly alongside Rhett’s fan-favorite catalog.

• Zach John King: Zach John King brings earnest, storyteller-style country to rotating slots—confirmed for both Texas shows, Des Moines and Kansas City—with melodic, reflective songs that warm the crowd up before Rhett hits the stage.

The specific rotating opener assignments vary by city, so check your local date for the full lineup.

When does Thomas Rhett's tour start?

When does Thomas Rhett's tour end?

What to expect at Thomas Rhett's tour

If you've seen Thomas Rhett live before, you already know: the energy never dips. His shows blend country, pop-rock and feel-good anthems into a nonstop experience that keeps crowds singing from the first note to the last. If this is your first time, you're walking into one of the most crowd-friendly performances in country music.

Based on past tours, the setlist will likely pull from across his entire catalog — expect staples like 'Die a Happy Man,' 'Life Changes,' 'Crash and Burn,' 'Look What God Gave Her' and 'Remember You Young' alongside newer material from About A Woman. Shows typically run around 90 minutes or more, and Rhett has a habit of working multiple stages to get closer to the crowd. His father, legendary songwriter Rhett Akins, recently returned to the studio for the first time in 20 years to work on new material with Thomas — so surprise collaborations or unreleased songs are a real possibility.

Production-wise, expect big video screens, dynamic lighting and arena-level sound designed to fill every seat. Many of these venues are outdoor amphitheaters, so plan for weather and arrive early to catch the openers. VIP packages are available for select dates, with options that may include premium seating, a guided backstage tour, access to the Thomas Rhett VIP Lounge and exclusive gifts.
